Vintage Art: Crafting a Home Wine Cellar

For the true sommelier, there’s no room more sacred than the wine cellar–a bastion of rich flavor, culture, and craftsmanship within the comfort of home. A home wine cellar is a luxurious touch, to be certain, but it’s an expression your unique personality and interest.

Every step of the vinification process is craft. From fostering the vineyard, to fermenting the harvest, to bottling the finished wine, winemaking is an art, and that art deserves a home that reflects its beauty. Here’s how a few of our Western Washington home designs display their vintage craft.

Woodway Manor

At Woodway Manor, we created a cohesive addition to a historic home. In the process, we incorporated a deep wine cellar for our client’s collection. It’s a classic take on wine storage, with organized slots on the upper portion of the walls and x-style storage near the floor. A row of well-lit display slots provide space for the most prized bottles in the homeowners’ collection.
